Major 850-home plan with care home and petrol station approved off busy road in Mansfield
Major plans for 850 homes, a care home and other community facilities in Mansfield have been approved despite some reservations from councillors over the size of the scheme. The large new settlement – exactly half the size of the Lindhurst Development near Berry Hill – was brought forward by developer Hellier at Pleasley Hill Farm, off the Mansfield and Ashfield Regeneration Route .
“There should be a health warning placed on this development. With this development, with other areas in and around this development, if you put it all together is there going to be any room [in Mansfield]?” This will help provide a travel plan for the area and improve road junctions around the busy MARR route, which will see two new junctions created to access the development. A spokesperson for the applicant Hellier told councillors the company expects work to begin on the MARR access routes next year.
Prior to the decision, some councillors raised concerns about the scale of the development but aired their plan to support it as the local plan allocation and lack of objections make them “bound to approve” it.
